Richard DJ Edwards BREAKING NEWS: Judge will correct sentence on AMIR. Aged 19, he cannot be jailed - he'll be detained at young offenders institution

[Cricket_Guru]

Not sure I agree with the sentences, They will, of course, be a warning to others tempted to cheat, but I think they could have been suspended (except for Majeed). The cricketers will return home with a criminal record, no livelihood, and as pariahs in their own country. Punishment enough, I think.

[Yoda-esque]

This is ridiculous ..I mean Ban them,curse them..but Jail???

[Aaku]

Not sure I agree with the sentences' date=' They will, of course, be a warning to others tempted to cheat, but I think they could have been suspended (except for Majeed).

Sad for an 18 years old to land up in jail for a crime even his own captain (and probably many more that got away) were pursuing. Hope the youngsters in Pakistan are watching and learning the lesson.

i feeel for amir :(( bichara.. phasa liya ladke ko

He will be out juvenile detention by January next yr........ But he wont be able to play for another 2yrs :banghead:

[ganeshran]

These are way too harsh sentences. Their bans should be extended for life and Butt given a token sentence.

[SachDan]

Stop sympathizing with cheats..considering the kind of damage they did for the game and "the land of the pure", this is by no means a harsh punishement.
